My question is how to apply NetworkManager as an easier GUI connection
for OpenVPN?

I already has a working OpenVPN setup to connect from a local openSUSE
10.3 OpenVPN client to an external OpenVPN server. As root in a Gnome
terminal the procedure to do this is as follows:

# cd /etc/openvpn
# openvpn --config myconfigfile.ovpn
...enter the password

I have installed the following OpenVPN and NetworkManager packages on my
local openSUSE 10.3/Gnome desktop (merged with KDE):

openvpn-2.0.9-44
NetworkManager-gnome-0.6.5-37.2
NetworkManager-glib-0.6.5-37.2
NetworkManager-openvpn-kde-0.2r674918-55
NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome-0.3.2cvs20060202-173
NetworkManager-kde-0.2r674918-55
NetworkManager-0.6.5-37.2
NetworkManager-openvpn-0.3.2cvs20060202-173

The only related tools I can see on the Computer>More
Applications>System menu are:
KNetworkManager
VPN Connection Manager (-add, remove and edit VPN connections)
Network Manager Editor

If I try to start i.e KNetworkManager, the applet added to the gnome
panel tells that Network Manager is not running.......


Suggestion what and how to setup NetworkManager as a "click and run gui
tool" to connect with the OpenVPN client?
